Fits well into my space, I painted the back green. It's very easy to customize just the back if that's something you want to do. I would suggest sanding it first before painting, I got a little impatient. The shelves ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxM8H4CjCb79vzeyvgaFMdzmLm88oVFPMkare pretty small so keep that in mind if you're going to have it horizontal that some books won't fit. I like the snug look that it has. Good small shelf if you don't have much space, but not too small. Simple to put together, though you'll need your own tools, a screwdriver and a mallet/hammer, it's easiest to do with another person.
8 years later and this man's projects are still some of the best that you'll find on the internet.
Beautiful work. It makes me sick though watching you guys put pieces together and they fit absolutely perfectly seemingly on the first try.
+JayXX Thanks Jay, I'll talk about that on Tuesday
At 64 years old I am exploring a passion I was not able to do. I have made a lot of planter boxes and now I plan to make this beautiful book case. I love your work.
Thank you!
Just brilliant. The contrast of tones really makes it a signature piece.
+P Vlahos Thank you
At first I thought that doubling the plywood was overkill, but now I understand why you did. Top notch work, thanks for sharing!
+chas717 Thank you
Boy Jon, it amazes me how you can take a fairly simple piece and make it so classy. I say it al the time, truly first class work. You make improvements and add detail I would never even think of adding. That's why I love your videos.
Your workmanship is phenomenal.
I just started watching your videos for ideas and construction tips. You are at the top of my list for people to listen too. Most videos have idiots trying to be funny except for the oriental ones that are silent. Keep going and contributing your talents as they are much appreciated here!!
Thank you for your time.
Thanks Mike!
Great work as usual Jon, the top is beautiful!
+Lane Bros WoodShop Thanks man
Sweet JON!!! This will be my fourth project using your plans, my wife is happy and so am I....( love Sapele)
+Jimmy BOB Thanks Jimmy..be sure to share some of your photos with us.
Ironically went on utube just hours after you posted looking for sample directions. Im sorry that I sent the email requesting the info, I totally missed that you just posted until after it was sent. I need to make one to fit my size sofa. Thanks so much for the tips.

Wow, that came out nice Jon. Great job!
+zimsjeep Thanks
That looks great Jon, really like the design contrasts of this one.
+The ShavingWood Workshop Thanks Tommy
Beautiful bookcase Jon!
+woodworker 631 Thank you!
Probably the most beautiful book case I have seen in a long long while
Thanks!
Jon your attention to detail is awesome. It's the little design features that really make the huge difference. I'm going to try and download the plans and cut prints. Thx
+Robert Lawrie Thanks Robert
I can believe what I saw in this video... THIS IS AN AMAZING BOOKCASE !! I love it, this is more beautiful than Ikea and all others french furniture shop (I'm french). Congrats !
The light and dark area look great. Very nice. Very, very nice!
appreciate all your videos......blanket chest is my favorite. made my granddaughter one...thanks again
Structurally this piece is very robust. It will be very sturdy and look great for years and years. The top turned out wonderfully. I like the way you matched the top and base. Nice contrast of colors. First rate stuff. You do good work young man. keep it up.
+Steve McEntyre Thanks Steve
Looks great! How in the world you make it look so easy and your cuts they are so accurate.
+miguel favela Thanks
Very nice. I like the wood and paint combo.
Great job John. I love the contrast the stained Sapele gives as well as the beefed up look of the case itself. Thanks for sharing. Bob
+buddyy11100 Thanks Bob
Nice tip on cutting the piece strong when handling large sheets... i may try this, i've often found myself ripping the sheet in 2 on the floor with a circular saw, then ripping a couple off that... i have a nice large shop saw, but its still hard. This turned out pretty nice. I am doing some 5' wide built in window seats with bookshelf below, this will adapt quite nicely. I'm torn between a dark stain on the cabinet and painting it cloud white to match my trim and running baseboard across it making it look built in with a wood top(seat). either way this is the way i'm building it... couple sheets should do my two seats for kids room... great vid man, keep this kind of stuff rolling.
Wow, the finished bookcase looks great!
+UltimateDelivery Thank you
clean, simple lines, beautiful top finish. very nice job
The book case looks great. Walter was a big help moving a fairly heavy piece. Another great project and video. Thanks Jon!
Nice tip on the moulding, Jon. Thanks.
+Mike Kapotsy Thanks Mike
Jon,
Your channel is one of the greatest things on UA-cam. Your video editing reminds me a lot of the Norm Abrams and the New Yankee Workshop. Thanks for your hard work and sharing it with us for free. I’m learning a lot and I hope I can come remotely close to your skill level and quality of work.
I love how simple looking its. Love the lines. Great project!
+Wes Hamstra (Wes Hamstra Woodworking) Thanks Wes
looks great. love that contrast of the poplar and sapele!
+Joe basementwoodworking Thanks Joe
Wow! Beautiful bookcase.
Thanks.
Nice work Jon. Bookcase looks awesome
Beautiful piece Jon, glad you shared.
+Larry Rouse Thanks Larry
100% profesional, un buen maestro, lo felicito por su arte.
That stain and framing in the back like you did really set it off.
Very nicely done!
+Travis In Canada Thanks Travis
Beautiful job. I appreciated the clarity with which you explained things for us mere mortals. Keep up the good work.
Wow, so much material was put into this...
Thank you Mr. Peters for sharing! As always, your videos are a great source of inspiration and ideas. Thank you!

Very beautiful bookcase Jon!! I will try to build one...
This man is a star!
Thank you!
Loved the video. Carpentry is really relaxing for me -for some reason. I wish to pursue it in the near future as a hobby. Loved your design, quality and your attention to detail. Excellent piece. Excellent video.

+Carrington Mackey Thank you!
Great piece of furniture Jon! I really like the look of stained wood with the offset of paint! Your craftsmanship is remarkable! You make it look so easy! A great combination of art and craftsmanship!
+Kim Shirley Thanks Kim
Really nice piece. Thanks for posting the video in detail.
+Dane Garcia Thanks Dane
That's a lovely piece of work with some great tips I'm going to build a book case for my grandson not as grand as yours but I will use a lot of your methods many thanks for taking the time.Paul
Absolutely beautiful work Jon!!
+Abel Nieto Thanks Abel
Love your work, Jon. So relaxing watching a Craftsman work. Ty :)
+Michael Peirce Thanks Michael!
Jon- That is some nice work. I working on a similar cabinet made 3/4 plywood and red oak. Again, great work.
You delivered once again Jon. Awesome job!
+Gianluca Moretti Thank you Gianluca
Very nice looking and sturdy book-case. Must be quite heavy btw for 2 of you to pick it up the steps! I liked your explanation for the half inch back ply. I am a hobbyist and for my bookcases I used quarter inch (6mm) but I will consider thicker one next time. Thanks for sharing. Regards,
LOOKS GREAT !! I TRULY ENJOY YOUR VIDEOS; GREAT LEADNING CURVE FOR BEGINNERS !! PATRICK.P
That came out real nice. I'll have to add that one to my to do list.
+Patrick Monaghan Thanks Patrick
Nice job! Good to see how well it fit into the client's home!
+Monte Hyler Thank you
I'm building this myself now. Great video. Thanks!
Nicely Done Great Job JON...
Gorgeous piece! Looks like it will last a lifetime and be something the client will be able to pass down from generation to generation. Great work!!!
+Croz 1007 Thank you
outstanding product well thought out and presented great explanations of the process i usually tend to have mind wondering but you kept my interest in the full process start to finish Thanks for such a great video
干的漂亮
Great project, Jon. Turned out beautiful. You do amazing work!
+Mark Blomster Thanks Mark
Uma coisa que admiro em vocês americanos é o profissionalismo e os recursos maravilhosos que vocês têm. Parabéns pelo belo trabalho! Muito bom!
Great job as always. I really enjoy the longer videos. Thank you!
+Eli Hickey Thanks Eli
beautiful piece Jon always enjoy your videos hi from Waterford
+adrian bourke Thank you Adrian
Dear, i saw all ur projects and thanks
A beautiful way to showcase your set of encyclopedias. Like anybody uses those any more.
Just finished my version of it! Awesome project and relatively easy to build. Thanks Jon!
Beautiful bookcase and good tips, Jon.
Hey jon, I built this sofa table following your plans and it turned out great! I used old pallet wood boards that my wife sanded and finished for the top and base mold, and it turned out very good. Thanks for the plans and inspiration. I also wondered if you had ever built a corner curio? My wife wants one for a kitchen corner, and I hoped you had the plans for one. Keep up the good work, can't wait for the next project.
Perfect book case for the space. The top looks great!
+Heavyboxes Thanks man
Very nice as always. Always learn something from your style. Thanks for sharing.
Beautiful cabinet. You always make it look so fun and easy.
+David Bishop Thanks David
A beautiful piece Jon, well filmed, a pleasure to watch.
+Bruce B Thanks Bruce
The way you explained the entire project is simply perfect Jon!
I hope woodworking will be part of my life in the future !
Beautifull project, it's not complicated but equipements heavy :s
good luck with your projects!
After watching this, I am joining your youtube site, and going to be making this bookcase hopefully next year.
Great build, and great job explaining it!!!
Jon, this is beautiful. You're instruction is super clear. So much so, I am making one for my daughter as a first woodworking project. I have one question as I get close to finishing it up...how did you attach the top?
Fantastic Jon. If only quality plywood in Australia was as inexpensive as in the US!
+Chris Noonan Thanks Chris
very very nice....might have to try one of those at some point....Thanks for the great videos!
+80skipster Thanks
Exactly what I will build as a replacement on a family room complete floor to ceiling remodeling.
Looks great John. I thought the doubling of the 3/4 ply was a bit much until I saw the finished product - looks great. Gives it a sense of depth, strength and quality. You have an eye for combining stained wood with painted wood - what color paint is that. Looks like it has a tinge of green in it - hard to tell on the video - looks great against the stain. It's a shame the back is up against the sofa - you did a nice job with the detail on the back - again, goes to quality.
+The 2 Car Garage Shop Thanks man
Great tip on the 1/2" ply for back. I do the same thing and it looks and sounds so much better.
Beautiful work!!
I sure enjoy your videos. Thanks for explaining your steps!!
Beautiful work Jon!
+Conrad Designs Thank you
So simple and so beautiful!!! Amazing !!!
Thanks
Como siempre un gran trabajo. Felicidades
Muy buen trabajo y la combinación de madera con el color blanco quedaron fabulosos,saludos cordiales desde Argentina .
beautiful piece Jon.
Absolutely beautiful work !!!
Thanks Jesse
This is a beautiful bookcase. I think I'll build this same model. Great video!
Jon, Any chance you have a new link to this plan and cut list. Old link is no longer valid. Thank you. Great attention to detail in all your work. Really appreciate you showing us your methods.
Looks great, I will use this idea to make a shoes bench.
increible como trabajas, se ve tan facil, que me motivas a intentar.. gracias.
Beautifully build
Bravo John really nice compliments
That top came out great. at first I was wondering what would happen with walnut stain on an already dark wood. Looks very good though. Did you dilute the stain at all?
so glad I found this channel. Beautiful work Clicked thumbs up and subbed
Thank you!
Just wondering why you prefer to brush your paints versus spraying since you have a nice HVLP gun setup?
The project turned out great! Really enjoyed the shots of the cabinet in context at the clients home.
+Mangos as Weapons Thanks man
Looks good, really heavy duty.
very nice piece, I bet it was expensive to build , always a pleasure watching your videos !
+Glen Turner Thanks Glen
Beautiful bookcase!!!
+BookofIsaiah Thank you
